We started out around nine and wove our way down Oregon Highway 26. Take a look at our pictures from the late breakfast we had at Camp 18. This must be one of the biggest log cabins in the world. The food is good there, but the atmosphere is what makes a worthwhile experience.
A few miles down, we made a stop at the Klootchy Creek Giant. It was a sad goodbye to an old friend. The massive Sitka Spruce is about to die of fungus problems. While we were there, we had a nice conversation with a couple from Atlanta that was wondering what there was to see on their nine-day trip to the Oregon Coast. We gave them all to much info.
After a trip to the Seaside Factory Outlets, we drove into downtown Astoria to a new Bosnian restaurant: Drina Daisy. This place is run by a very hospitable couple who wanted us to stay and sample the lamb from off the rotisserie and eat their new dessert. By the time we left the wife was treating us like old friends from the home country. There were hugs and promises of a return visit. By that time it was 5:30. Way past check-in time.
